Canada’s Midnight Peg have released their sophomore full length, Skinning, via Thousand Islands Records, on their new album the band double down on intensity with twelve high strung cuts of paranoid contemplation and shredded anger. Louder, sharper, and scuzzier than their debut, Skinning weaves together Noise Rock, Post Punk, Emo and experimentalism with underpinning motifs of sexuality, survival, absurd ritual, and the ubiquity of violence.

“We really wanted to push what we were doing in the first album. It feels like an exciting time right now in heavy music, and bands are popping out all the time here; the diversity is exciting. Skinning grew out of that experimental, cross-genre moment where it all feels a bit unstable but totally alive. It’s a mash of pit-banging hardcore noise and aggression, sly melodic hooks, and ephemeral scuzz… But at the heart of each track is a quiet, guttural despair at the ubiquity of violence and how we survive it.” (vocalist Raquel “Rocky” Mann)
